POOR FUEL ECONOMY
Definition : Fuel economy, as measured by an actual road
test, is noticeably lower than expected. Also, fuel econo-
my is noticeably lower than it was on this vehicle at one
time, as previously shown by an actual road test.
Important : Driving habits affect fuel economy. Check the
owner’s driving habits by asking the following questions:1. Is the A/C system (i.e. defroster mode) turned on
all the time?
2. Are the tires at the correct air pressure?
3. Have excessively heavy loads been carried?
4. Does the driver accelerate too much and too often?
Suggest the driver read the section in the owner’s
manual about fuel economy.
